Check understanding
- Draw a triangle, rectangle, pentagon, or hexagon accurately
- Construct a cube or cuboid from modelling materials (e.g. straws and connectors)
- Recognise a 3-D shape (e.g. a pyramid) when it is rotated or seen from a different angle
“If your child is given a cube to look at, can they draw it on paper — and then make a cube-shaped model from modelling clay or construction materials?”
